June 14–16, 2026 · Salerno, Italy
Building on the success of previous editions, the next edition of the ICONREM will focus on solutions for resilient cities and communities.
ICONREM 2028 will be hosted by the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy. The conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to advance innovative approaches for enhancing the resilience of urban systems and infrastructure against natural hazards and other emerging threats.
Further details on the scientific program, important dates, and registration will be announced in due course. The official conference website will be launched at a later stage.
June 16–19, 2026 · Florence, Italy
The severe impacts of recent natural hazards, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and landslides, combined with the vulnerability of human settlements and infrastructures, have highlighted the significant work still needed to address these challenges.
The conference aimed to raise awareness about this critical topic and propose strategies to promote new approaches at the intersection of structure/infrastructure systems and the economic and social impacts of natural hazards to increase community resilience.
The growing need to address complex challenges in urban resilience, engineering, and monitoring, within a multi-risk context and an increasingly interconnected world, demanded the development of innovative ideas and advanced methods to deliver accurate numerical solutions within feasible computing times, as well as the creation of novel methods and tools to support risk-informed decisions.
ICONREM 2026 provided a dynamic platform for sharing scientific knowledge and expertise with colleagues from around the globe, fostering collaboration across these critical fields. The conference sessions welcomed scientific contributions on single and multi-risk analysis, monitoring and resilience. Novel approaches to modelling, mapping and analysing data on all sub-components of the risks were invited.
The 4th edition of the Conference was held in Florence. The technical sessions took place at the headquarters of the Department of Architecture (DIDA), while the opening and closing ceremonies were held in an exceptional location: Palazzo Vecchio, the heart of the Renaissance.
June 24-28, 2024 · Turin and Ispra, Italy
The devastating effects of recent natural hazards and disasters—such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis—combined with the fragile state of infrastructure systems worldwide, underscore the ongoing need for innovation and action.
Recognizing these challenges, the International Conference on Resilient Engineering and Monitoring (ICONREM) was successfully held in 2024, bringing together global experts to address critical issues in resilience, earthquake engineering, and structural health monitoring.
ICONREM served as a platform to elevate awareness and propose innovative strategies for enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure systems while addressing their economic and social impacts. The conference highlighted the increasing necessity of solving complex problems through the development of new ideas and advanced methods, ensuring accurate solutions within efficient timeframes.
The conference sessions took place at the Politecnico di Torino in Turin, a renowned hub for academic and technological excellence. The final day was held at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra, a significant European research facility situated on the scenic shores of Lake Maggiore, approximately 130 km from Turin. These venues provided a stimulating environment for meaningful discussions and collaboration.
Participants also had the opportunity to explore Turin and the Piedmont region, celebrated for its cultural heritage, exquisite cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes, making the conference a memorable experience.
